Today’s Outfit Post: Red Engine Skirt

I had a big cry yesterday (I mean, my Audi caught on fire. I think it’s warranted.), but decided to pick myself up and dress up a little bit. C. and I went to the doctor around 11:30, who said that he had a bit of a smoke inhalation issue and I needed to watch him. So we’ve been hanging out at home – pretty much wasting this outfit – looking at possible cars to buy in the under $1000 range. Not a whole ton of options… kind of depressing.

But, I looked cute (or, at least I think I looked cute) and it was worth giving you guys a smile or two.

This skirt was a birthday gift from Red Engine (don’t get too jealous… remember the car fire) and it’s probably one of the first times that I’ve found a denim skirt that I really like. C. was a little hesitant at first (it does kind of have a little house on the prairie feel if it’s not styled right) but it’s grown on him just as it has on me.

Really, this entire outfit is just feminine and fun. I think I really needed it!

I was super lucky to receive this purse (the Ramsay Rocker Tote) in the mail yesterday, and I knew it had to be incorporated into an outfit post. It had EVERYTHING that I look for in a bag: it’s a little eclectic, pretty huge and has pockets to store things so they don’t get lost. You’ll be seeing me on Handbag Heaven’s blog next month, so I’ll keep you updated!

What do you guys think about it… love it, or would you do it a bit differently?
